fence rails
Horizontal enclosure boards
Fence rails are the horizontal bars that run between fence posts, forming the barrier.
Typically made of wood, metal, or vinyl, they're the structural members that actually block passage or contain livestock.
The term appears in descriptions of rural landscapes and property boundaries: He leaned against the weathered fence rails, watching the horses graze.
